Chapter 53: City Lord Liu Is About to Cry With Fear. Threat? Just Destroy Him!
Lingxiao Peak.
Su Zhou had fully acclimated to the power of his physical body.
His physique had risen yet another level — even an Earth-grade treasure weapon could be crushed barehanded by him, a feat that could only be called terrifying!
Feeling this overwhelmingly tyrannical power, Su Zhou was overjoyed.
But he clearly understood — in this world of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, with three thousand vast domains, the Divine Xia Empire he currently resided in was nothing more than a tiny speck, tucked away in a corner of a single domain.
Since he had arrived in this world, he would climb to stand above the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, atop the very peak of the three thousand great domains. All the splendor before him now was merely the beginning of his journey.
After steadying his mindset, Su Zhou once again checked his system backpack.
After the family’s luck reached thirty thousand, another family resource package had been unlocked.
He directly chose to open the package.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the Mystic Monument!]
[Mystic Monument: Placed at the family’s entrance, once stained with a trace of divine blood, it radiates endless oppressive might!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a Supreme Family-Protection Formation!]
[Supreme Family-Protection Formation: Can safeguard the family grounds. Any enemy harboring malicious intent will be revealed, and those who attack will be struck by roaring heavenly thunder!]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the Nine Nether Profound-Yellow Tree!]
[Nine Nether Profound-Yellow Tree: Can nurture Profound-Yellow Qi of the Nine Nether. Cultivating under the tree significantly enhances comprehension, with a chance to awaken a special physique: the Nine Nether Profound-Yellow Body!]
The rewards in the family resource package were all aimed at strengthening the family’s power.
They were incredibly potent and practical.
These three rewards perfectly suited the current state of the Su Family.
The Mystic Monument elevated the family’s prestige, the protection formation ensured the safety of the family grounds, and the Nine Nether Profound-Yellow Tree improved the aptitude of family members.
It could be said the selection was thoroughly well-thought-out.
Without further hesitation, Su Zhou immediately chose to install all three.
The family-protection formation spread silently across the entire territory, instantly enveloping the whole Lingxiao Blessed Land.
Atop one of the spiritual peaks, a towering ancient tree quietly sprouted. It pierced the heavens, radiating an archaic aura, continuously dispersing Profound-Yellow Qi. The tree’s trunk was unfathomably deep, as though rooted in the underworld.
Many family members faintly felt that cultivating under that ancient tree increased their absorption rate of spiritual energy.
At the entrance of Lingxiao Blessed Land—
A gigantic, bloodstained black stone had appeared at some point.
The blood on it shimmered with golden light, too dazzling to gaze at directly. A massive character ‘Su’ was engraved on its surface!
Liu Chengfeng stood at the entrance of Lingxiao Blessed Land, his throat dry.
He had come to the Su Family at the behest of both his sect and the imperial family.
But the moment he reached the entrance, he witnessed that horrifying blood-soaked black stone appear out of nowhere.
Unfortunately, his damned curiosity got the better of him.
His True Gaze of Qi-Observation activated instinctively.
And then—
He saw atop that black stone, there existed beings that towered above the heavens.
They… no, They!
They gazed down upon the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, viewing all mortal life as ants. And then…
One day, darkness swallowed all. Divine blood fell to the mortal realm…
This terrifying vision made Liu Chengfeng’s legs tremble uncontrollably.
He forcefully tore his gaze away in fear. But the next moment…
“AAAAAAHHHH!!!” A massive vertical pupil pressed right up against his face.
A golden eye radiated boundless pressure.
Liu Chengfeng’s Adam’s apple bobbed uncontrollably. The owner of that eye was none other than the Su Family’s Golden Luck Dragon.
That Golden Luck Dragon was even more fearsome than the last time he saw it.
Its body, stretching millions of miles, coiled tightly around the entire blessed land. Each golden scale shimmered with suppressive might, formed from boundless luck.
Just one of those scales alone could alter a mortal family’s destiny, allowing it to rise into greatness. Yet on the dragon’s body, they were densely packed, infinite in number…
Liu Chengfeng didn’t even have the courage to enter the Su Family.
Once, he had prided himself on his ability to see what others couldn’t. Now, he couldn’t even cry.
“Aaah… Screw it. I’m done!”
“You royal folk can deal with your own mess!!” Liu Chengfeng turned to leave on the spot.
“City Lord Liu… Long time no see…”
A calm voice echoed beside Liu Chengfeng’s ear, and his whole body froze.
He looked up to see Su Zhou standing there in black dragon-patterned robes, smiling faintly.
But Liu Chengfeng, having forgotten to turn off his True Gaze, nearly fainted the moment he saw Su Zhou.
In his vision, behind Su Zhou stood a colossal figure treading atop the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, with three thousand Great Daos cascading down around him, and a divine phoenix flapping its wings in flight, capable of annihilating all worlds.
“Su… Patriarch Su… Long time no see…” Liu Chengfeng forced a smile, holding onto the wall to prevent his knees from giving way…
Or rather, to keep himself from kneeling again…
Everything in Lingxiao Blessed Land was under Su Zhou’s control. He had naturally sensed Liu Chengfeng’s arrival.
Su Zhou was quite pleased with this very tactful city lord, and so, curious as to his purpose, he had come out in person.
“No one visits the Three Treasure Hall without reason. City Lord Liu, what brings you here now?” Su Zhou asked.
Looking at Su Zhou, whose cultivation was even more unfathomable than before, Liu Chengfeng parted his lips to speak.
Suddenly, a wildly arrogant voice rang out.
“HAHAHAHA!!! Liu Chengfeng!! So this is the trump card of your Divine Xia?!”
“What a joke!! Absolutely laughable!!!”
“So this is the Su Family? If you dare to help, I—”
However, Su Zhou had no interest in hearing such senseless threats. He raised one hand, and ripples immediately spread through the air.
“Annoying.”
“Great Oblivion Technique!”
Cracks tore across the space, as black fissures opened one after another.
Boom!!
The next moment—
A man clad in ornate robes hadn’t even reacted before his body was instantly ripped apart.
The shock and terror on his face seemed frozen mid-expression. Then, his entire form began to disintegrate, turning to dust — like scattered ashes.
In no time, only a fine blood rain remained, falling silently from the sky.
“City Lord Liu… please, continue.” Su Zhou’s voice was as calm as ever, as if he had merely swatted a fly.
